In the fall of 2025, when global AI narratives are being monopolized by giants, @SentientAGI has chosen a completely different path—going offline, reaching out to the crowd, and embracing openness. From Fudan University in Shanghai to Shenzhen University From the Cypher conference in Bangalore, India, to the upcoming Blockchain Life in Dubai and the Open AGI Summit in Buenos Aires Sentient is presenting itself as an open-source AGI economy, pushing the concept of "decentralized intelligence" from the community to the world stage. In just three months, this global tour spanning Asia, the Middle East, and South America is not just a roadshow, but a collective reflection on "who will define the future of AGI." What thoughts do these traces leave us? Let's dive into learning together 🧵

1/ Sentient Asia Campus Tour · Fudan University, Shanghai Date: September 27, 2025 Location: Fudan University, Shanghai, China Theme: Open Source AGI Mission: Building the ROMA and GRID Communities Speaker: @sandeepnailwal (Co-founder) Format: Fireside chat + Q&A interaction (approximately 2 hours) Expected Attendance: About 200 students and researchers Highlights: 🔹 Nailwal will provide an in-depth explanation of the principles and practices of the ROMA reasoning framework and the GRID incentive protocol. 🔹 Emphasize how "decentralized AI" allows models and agents to co-create and share profits through blockchain. 🔹 Discuss AI ethics and open-source collaboration, with high student engagement. The deeper significance of this meeting by @SentientAGI is that it is not just a technical sharing, but also the sowing of the "open source AGI mission". Through the community building of ROMA and GRID, it empowers the younger generation to participate in the global AI narrative, promoting the transition from "tool AI" to "symbiotic intelligence". Holding it at an elite university like Fudan amplifies its impact: it is expected to inspire subsequent projects, papers, and entrepreneurial waves, ultimately contributing to the democratization of human-level AI.

2/ Sentient Asia Campus Tour · Shenzhen University Date: September 30, 2025 Location: Shenzhen, China · Shenzhen University Theme: Open Intelligent Networks: Open Source AI Against Corporate Control Speaker: @sandeepnailwal (Co-founder) Format: Keynote Speech + Student Interaction (approximately 1.5 hours) Expected Attendance: About 150 faculty and students Highlights: 🔸 Detailed introduction to the Sentient ecosystem architecture (ROMA + GRID). 🔸 Discussion on open source incentive mechanisms, AI model governance, and community self-governance models. 🔸 On-site Q&A focusing on "Can open source AI overcome corporate AI monopolies?" This event is a key step for @SentientAGI in sowing the seeds of open source AI concepts within the Asian academic ecosystem, inspiring a new generation of developers to shift from "consumers" to "contributors," and promoting the integration of academia and industry, advancing the concept of "Loyal AI." It marks Sentient's transition from technical construction to community empowerment, nurturing a new generation of seed power for global open source AGI.

3/ Minsky Awards 2025 · Cypher Conference (Bangalore, India) Date: October 8, 2025 Location: Cypher Conference Main Venue, Bangalore, India Award: 🏆 "AI Innovation Excellence Award" Winning Theme: Open Source AGI Challenges Privatization Representative Award Recipient: @hstyagi (Co-founder) Attendance Scale: 5,000+ attendees Highlights Summary: 🔹 @SentientAGI won the "Startup of the Year" award for achieving 81.7% accuracy in the FRAMES benchmark with the ROMA framework (surpassing GPT-4o). 🔹 Tyagi participated in a panel discussion on "Building Community AI" at the forum. 🔹 A GRID demonstration booth was set up to showcase the monetization process of open-source AI models. The Minsky Awards 2025, through Himanshu Tyagi's recognition, highlights the strategic importance of open-source AGI in combating privatization, while the offline format of Cypher amplifies its impact. Himanshu Tyagi represented the team to accept the award and participated in the community-building AI panel discussion, reinforcing the project's authority in the Indian AI ecosystem.

5/ Open AGI Summit · Buenos Aires Date: November 16, 2025 (approximately 37 days from now) Location: La Rural Exhibition Center, Buenos Aires, Argentina Nature: A side event of the Devcon Ethereum conference Theme: "Ethical, Open, Decentralized AGI: A Community-Built Path for AI" Agenda Time: 11:30–19:30 ART (08:30–16:30 UTC) Expected Scale: About 500 AGI researchers and builders Partners: AWS Cloud Event Format: 🔹 Roundtable discussions (AI, robotics, blockchain trends) 🔹 Technical sharing and open-source incentive mechanism workshops 🔹 Open-source AGI ethics and incentive governance discussions Expected Attendees: Himanshu Tyagi or Sandeep Nailwal are expected to attend (following past conventions) Event Positioning: 🔸 Hosted by @SentientAGI, aimed at advocating for "non-corporate controlled AGI development paths." 🔸 Expanding the developer ecosystem in South America, strengthening its "global open-source AGI network" layout.

From campus to conference, from technical frameworks to economic systems, @SentientAGI is demonstrating through action: open source is not idealism, but the starting point of a new order. With $85 million in funding, a 2 million user waitlist, and the implementation of ROMA and GRID technologies, this decentralized AGI network has a realistic foundation for "trustworthy intelligence." As the Dubai Forum and Buenos Aires Summit unfold, Sentient's story is just beginning— in this revolution of AI, algorithms no longer belong to a select few, but to the consensus of all humanity.
